Studio recording, 2004 era. Mesa/Boogie Triple Rectifier is confirmed as the primary amp for Kittie on this album. Guitar is a Les Paul Custom with EMG pickups, as used by Morgan Lander in this era. No evidence of digital amp modelers or non-Mesa amps for this song's riff section.
Tone Character(10)

Difficulty
The riff requires tight, aggressive palm muting and precise rhythm playing at a medium-fast tempo, with consistent articulation and muting under high-gain settings. While not extremely technical, the tone and rhythm demands push it above intermediate difficulty.
